From Josephine,
“Your Eminence, what is your opinion
on Protestants?”
Dear,
Josephine
Protestants
are different. They have some strange ideas and strange notions on how the
church should work. However, they are to be loved, like those odd members of
our family who come around once a year, usually on Christmas, and argue with
you. Sometimes, we get frustrated and want to yell “You are wrong!” – I know
this has been my experience. Yet, should I have yelled, our fragile ties would
be even more broken.
Yes,
you may not agree with them and they might not agree with you but God says we
are to love each other as we were first loved by Jesus Christ. Always remember
that all Christians are children of God and believers on Christ. We all trust
in the sacrifice of the cross for our salvation. This means putting up with the
arguing and strangeness of our relatives and doing our best to make peace (even
if we feel like locking them in the attic from time to time).
In
Christ,
Angelo
Cardinal Fratelli
